Job description

At Bloom Energy, our vision for a world powered by clean, reliable, and affordable energy is more than just a dream-we're making it reality.
For over two decades, we've been at the forefront of the global energy transition, pioneering solutions that empower critical industries to thrive in a rapidly digitizing, energy-intensive world. From revolutionizing power for AI-driven data centers to ensuring resilience for hospitals, electric grids, manufacturing facilities, and utilities, our solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and solid oxide electrolyzer (SOEC) technologies are redefining what's possible by delivering energy abundance for all. With more than 30,000 fuel cell modules deployed worldwide, we are the trusted partner for Fortune 100 companies and innovators alike. Our cutting-edge solutions enable unparalleled "time-to-power" capabilities, reliability, and sustainability, ensuring our customers remain ahead in a world where soaring energy demand and intensifying energy scarcity are rapidly becoming the new norm.
At Bloom, we thrive on collaboration, bold thinking, and relentless innovation. We believe that, together, we can create a brighter, more sustainable future while tackling the most pressing challenges of the 21st century.
We are looking for a Sr. Principal Electrical Engineer, Microgrid Modeling to join our team in one of today's most exciting technologies. This role will report to VP, Product Development and based in San Jose, CA. This is a fully on-site, in office role 5 days a week.
This role is for a highly experienced individual contributor responsible for developing, analyzing, and validating system-level models of complex microgrids operating across grid-connected, islanded, black-start, and transition conditions.
This role focuses on advanced electrical and dynamic modeling of inverter-based resources, energy storage systems, generation assets, microgrid controllers, and distribution networks to ensure robust performance, stability, resilience, and compliance with project requirements and applicable grid codes.
This position is intended for an engineer with deep domain expertise and extensive hands-on experience in microgrid modeling and simulation, capable of independently evaluating complex systems and operating scenarios and delivering high-confidence, model-driven insights to support system design and validation.
Key Responsibilities
  • Develop, maintain, and validate steady-state and dynamic models of complete microgrid systems, including inverters, BESS, transformers, MV/LV distribution, and loads.
  • Perform system studies across grid-connected and islanded operation, including black start, resynchronization, mode transitions, disturbances, and fault scenarios.
  • Conduct load flow, power balance, short-circuit, transient stability, voltage/frequency response, and control-protection interaction analyses.
  • Use PSCAD and PSSE to evaluate system performance
  • Collaborate closely with hardware, controls, protection, and systems teams to ensure models accurately represent real-world behavior.
  • Prepare clear technical documentation covering modeling assumptions, results, risks, and limitations.
  • Participate in technical discussions with end users to address Bloom system modeling-related questions and collaborate with end-user modeling teams to integrate Bloom models into their system-level studies.
  • Support factory testing, commissioning, and field issue analysis when modeling input is required.
